BOH (Back of House) is the Fire module for inventory management: supplies, units of measure, recipes, purchasing, stock movements, physical counts, and inventory reports. This section explains how to administer it from the Fire backoffice, without going into code. It is meant for operations, store administrators, and product support. Where you work: the BOH menu, under /boh/admin.

Before you begin

​
How the pieces fit together

Mental rule: documents move stock, catalog describes it. Nothing enters or leaves inventory without an operational document (a receipt, a waste event, a transfer, a count…). Purchase orders are the one exception: they express intent and only move stock when they are received.

​
The stock flow

Every unit of stock in BOH follows the same cycle:
  1. Purchase order (optional) — you plan a purchase with a supplier. This does not move stock.
  2. Goods receipt — merchandise arrives and stock enters inventory, creating lots.
  3. Stock goes out — through sales (via recipes), production batches, waste, internal consumption, supplier returns, or transfers to another store.
  4. Stock counts — you physically count and the system adjusts the theoretical balance.
  5. Reports — usage, waste, yield, and historical balances summarize everything above.
Most movement documents are processed asynchronously: after you confirm them, the system posts the stock movements within a few seconds. Each document shows its processing status, and lists have a tracking view if you need to follow it.

The Operations hub

The Movements section opens with an Operations hub (/boh/admin/operations): a panel of cards with one entry per document type — receipts, supplier returns, waste, internal consumption, transfers, counts, production, manual adjustments — plus shortcuts to waste reasons and the async queue. Each card shows a health indicator based on recent processing, and the queue card displays how many documents are being processed at that moment. It is a convenient starting point for day-to-day operational work.

Support and technical tools

The BOH menu also includes tools intended for technical support and integrations. In normal day-to-day operation you do not need them:
  • Account & access — account settings (including the account currency), API keys, and webhooks for external systems that integrate with BOH.
  • Manual adjustments (under Movements) — direct stock corrections outside the normal documents; use only under guidance from support.
  • System — the async queue, the transaction inspector, and snapshot ops (under Reports): monitoring and diagnostic tools for the inventory engine.
Avoid manual adjustments as a routine practice. If your theoretical stock drifts from reality, prefer a stock count: it leaves a clear audit trail of what was counted and what was adjusted.
